OSX does not crash?!

Hi,
it seems funny how you write down, here, exactly what I think...
Personaly I use 3 systems (Windows, OSX, Gentoo Linux) and I must say that the most stable is my Linux (used as a server with no GUI). I do think that OSX has a higher quality level than Windows but there still are some things that just .. crash. I think all systems (with GUI) need to be reinstall regularly but even using ghost systems (fast re-imaging) does'nt quite do it for me as there is always loss of data (somehow).
Will there be a solution?

"Tiger's home page goes on about how OSX does not crash - it *has* crashed for me a few times but perhaps that was because I was running a Windows emulator ;-)
But here is the sad truth - OSX may not crash but applications running on it often do - apps which I use often."

You need to make up your mind Does the OS crash or not? First you say that it has for you, then you imply that it has not. Applications freezing in NOT the same thing as crashing. And Macromedia apps are in NO way under the control of Apple, so I am not clear what purpose your criticism serves.
I have indeed crashed OSX. Had a few quite spectacular kernal panics. But your statements here are simply misguided.
AS to your reader's reply about Linux being more stable, that is hardly surprising, given the range of applications being run on most Linux distros. If all  did was run Apache, a shell, and open office, even Wind'ohz XP would appear solid.
